We are also fan of...

Docker

Docker

So what is Docker?

Docker, a container technology, is hotter than hot because it makes it possible to get applications running on the same old servers and it also makes it very easy to package and ship programs. Or like Docker says on its website: Docker containers wrap up a piece of software in a complete filesystem that contains everything it needs to run: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries – anything you can install on a server. This guarantees that it will always run the same, regardless of the environment it is running in.

In the series 'Fan of...' we show some of the technology we use during our implementation projects. These are technology components we love, this is what we do. Check.

What is the difference anyway?

Containers vs. VM's

Virtual Machine hypervisors, such as Hyper-V, OracleVM and VMware (markleader) are based on emulating virtual hardware. That means they’re fat in terms of system requirements.

Containers, like Docker, use shared operating systems. That means they are much more efficient than hypervisors in system resource terms. Instead of virtualizing hardware, containers rest on top of a single Linux instance. This results in a much better usages of the shared hardware resources.

What do we do with it?

Ease of Use

At Yenlo we use Docker to create containers for for instance WSO2 products like the WSO2 ESB running on Docker, or the WSO2 API manager running on Docker. So you need help with setting up WSO2 on Docker? Just contact us.

Main Features:

Faster delivery of your applications

Deploying and scaling more easily

Achieving higher density and running more workloads

And so much more. Bottom-line: with Docker you are up-and-running before you know it!

Yenlo & Docker

Yenlo is a fan of Docker. We know the technology very well and applied it with succes in several projects. So no worries, we got you covered all the way from implementation till support and everything in between. Contact us for more information.
